Dr Phil Pringle Doctorate Fact or Fiction

Although I've touched on the subject of the Dr Phil Pringle Doctorate and from what university he obtained this doctorate from, I never followed it through to find out the facts. Having a few hours spare I thought it maybe a good idea to research this topic.

It seems I'm not the only person who is or has been interested in knowing where Dr Phil Pringle obtained his Doctorate. I found some very interesting information from a well respect blog called Signposts.

A number of its blog posters have submitted email requests direct to Christian City Church Oxford Falls asking where Dr Phil Pringle obtained his Doctorate. Some have also also asked CCC to clarify the exact nature of this qualification. EG - PhD, Doctor of Theology, Rev Dr, Doctor of Biblical Philosophy. However no one received a rely much less any information to substantiate the Dr Phil Pringle Doctorate claim.

Having a look at the google cache page I find the following quote under the heading of Dr. Phil Pringle, OAM: "Awarded a PhD by New Covenant International University in 1999 achieved by thesis on the Book of Acts, following a Masters by thesis on Church Growth".
PhD by New Covenant International University in 1999

Well that looks very official.
However when I revert back to the SignPosts Blog I discover that one of the posters (who in their professional capacity is a Librian) sent an email to the New Covenant International University requesting access to the thesesis that Dr Phil Pringle wrote to achieve his Doctorate.
